The Church Vs. The State Civil Disobedience

[Luce NDs]

Is what's unknown complicit in determining if essential oils, fatty acids and such are insubstantial to blubber about?

Imagine if these things were the basis of hormones, endocrines and other pheromones' ... stuff that befuddles the 5 dimensions of sense .... sometimes known as quintessence and perhaps connecting quince to the fruit of the tree ...

Does it make one Quincey or just Q' winks? That's evolution of "phi" into a "psi" in the sans ... now SED to be something else ... stumped by doing nothing!

Requires broad perspectives from all angles ... as a fly on the Luce about a pig's head ... mined of insatiable curios! Then Keats had things to say about mysterious poetics ... that may have included odd prose, free in form. Script dead without inhibition ...

Mysterious substance when inked in form ...

At any rate, celebrating 5 days new-case free.

Well, 1 new case today. Starting the streak anew.

Because the recent outbreak was centred in the St. John's area we stayed in level 5 when the rest of the Province was lowered to level 4.

Today Dr. Fitzgerald announced we would be skipping a level and joining the rest of the Province at level 2 this coming week-end.

Public Gatherings maxed out at 50 persons.

I guess I need to get some conversations going with our local leadership.

Every human being born will die. Historical sources note that the fear of death has much of the world in bondage. Tyrants employ the fear of death to control populations. This in contrast to Spiritual teachings from all corners of the world which indicate that we are not to succumb to the fear of death.

I have a book on my shelf which notices that in the past there were all manner of deaths. It goes on to say that in our time there are all manner of deaths. The author suggests that our understanding of progress may be questionable. I think of Indigenous peoples on all continents who lived for tens of thousands of generations in nature and according to the rules of nature. This compared to our Western ideas which have led us to pollute the planet's air and water. In this way polluting our own bodies. These ideas have been in play for less than one century. They have brought us to the brink of disaster.

yes every human will eventually die. Luckily small children have a chance against many fatal or damaging diseases and all of us benefit from medications. Let’s just look at one drug. Insulin. It changed lives. the Fact that it is expensive to buy in the USA is a separate issue from the drug. All the nuts who feel they can just heal their body through healthy living, or prayer or whatever have never had their body stop producing insulin

medicine is not the enemy. pharma is not the enemy

Of course they will. I think most people would prefer to die in their bed at 90 basically from wearing out, than from polio at age 5.

And an anti masker ... "Mask mandates are the symbolic equivalent of the yellow star"

So Vera Sharav is a white supremist then.

I was banned for 3 days with no warning or announcement again, so I couldn't respond. One of the mods could've let you and others know.

Anyway, overall the anti masking movement is dominated white supremacy. Look into it. Largely communities, of colour are not anti maskers. Hardly any. Sometimes people from marginalized groups speak on behalf of the white supremacist narrative and don't realize what they're feeding into. I can think of a few black Trump supporters that have a media presence. That doesn't mean there's a whole "other side" of people who are black Trump supporters, proportional the the ones who are not.

Documentation from a rally in Kelowna last week was an example of white supremacy, that I posted.

With our latest Covid-19 explosion (fuelled by folk ignoring public health restrictions) we went back to security level 5 from Security level 2

it took us another three months to populate the teams we would need to disinfect before and after.

We have moved to security level 4

At any rate, celebrating 5 days new-case free. I hear horses chafing against the bit.

Horses running wild pushed us all back into the barns.

Do horses learn faster than people do?

Thats quite the narrative ... is it a terrorist attack or a stampede of horses running out of burning barn once the door is opened.

Horses stay in a burning barn and others are smart enough to get out

These substances are doing more harm than illicit pharmaceuticals.

Of course they will. I think most people would prefer to die in their bed at 90 basically from wearing out, than from polio at age 5.

Indeed! I would be delighted to reach 100 years of life; to watch the unfolding of our human history. That said, I will accept my death should it occur later today. The only regret will be leaving loved ones to deal with my passing.

I was born out of life, now experience life, and will one day return to life. Life is who I am existentially. What I experience is circumstantial. One day the circumstantial will be taken from me by death. My existential being will be undiminished.

he Fact that it is expensive to buy in the USA is a separate issue from the drug.

David Tridgell, a Minneapolis endocrinologist who has had Type 1 diabetes since he was 15, wrote in The Washington Post that patients with Type 1 diabetes tend to use two or three vials of insulin per month. At the current cost of one vial of Humalog 50/50, these patients would spend $780 to $1,170 on their insulin every month. Type 2 Diabetes patients can require even more insulin per month, sometimes requiring six or more vials, Tridgell wrote. This would add up to $2,341 or more every month.

The increase is tied to the business practices of manufacturers, health plans and PBMs, or pharmacy business managers.

Some insulin producers blame insulin’s prices on the cost of innovation. However, Mayo Clinic hematologist S. Vincent Rajkumar dismissed this claim in a 2020 paper. Rajkumar wrote that limited innovation exists when it comes to insulin, and that what matters more is affordability.

A U.S. Senate Finance Committee staff report released this year stated, "Eli Lilly reported spending $395 million on (research and development) costs for Humalog, Humulin, and Basaglar between 2014 and 2018, during which time the company spent nearly $1.5 billion on sales and marketing expenses for its insulins."

Insulin in Canada typically costs $30 to $40 per vial, with most diabetics using between one and ten vials per month. While that price is much lower than many other countries, it is still a higher price than most Canadians are willing to pay, and it has gone up in recent years. For example, between 2010 and 2015, the average price of insulin in Canada jumped more than 50%.

There are several reasons for the leap. Primarily, the demand for insulin is on the rise. More and more Canadians are diabetic than ever before. Additionally, there’s plenty of cross-border need for Canadian insulin. Americans from border cities and towns regularly cross over to buy insulin, which can cost more than 900% more in the US, increasing the price even further.

If you had diabetes would you rather have free insulin or free vaccines (free = at the taxpayers expense).

And just when I took you off ignore ... because you and I are allowed to do that to each other if we feel the need to take a break.

One of the mods could've let you and others know.

Moderately & Unignorably So!

Really? "Totally oppositional to your own perspective?" Realistically, you are white, western, live in a privileged country, have access to universal health care. I don't see anything in total opposition to your current life position.

Why do you bother? Actually, maybe just don't.

You admit that you do even less well in real life.

Does that ever make you think that you might be heading down the wrong rabbit hole?

Temper your communication style? Hmm...from vaguely incomprehensible and terribly mis-attributed to?

1 in 900 Canadians are dead.

1 in 900 that were 'cased'?

Thankfully the province covers it.

Covers it with funds drawn from where?

 

[GeoFee]

Covers it with funds drawn from where?

From the population through taxation?

As Mendalla posted before you posted this, the suspension WAS noted in the proper place for such announcements. Since Mendalla let you know where to look for it, your second comment here is, to put it mildly, inappropriate and unnecessarily insulting to the volunteers on Council who endeavor to keep this forum a safe and welcoming place for all. You may, in the light of your current knowledge, wish to retract your statement.

How much energy is taken to insult authority?

Can a humble person get through to authority? As Didymus ... there is doubt in light of the situation ...

Is denial an easy process? So it goes ...

Had a discussion with a fringe group of authority about how intellect disappears in sight of the greater powers ... thus lesser and sub dude power ... and Jesus went down in a heap!

than from polio at age 5.

“You may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know.”- William Wilberforce

“Vaccine-Derived” Polio on the Rise"​

Immunocompromised individuals are at special risk for vaccine strain polio paralysis and for chronic vaccine strain polio infection, shedding and transmission.

According to the GPEI there were more than three times as many people who were reported to have contracted polio from the live polio vaccine than from wild type polio.1

This problem of children or their close contacts contracting vaccine strain polio from the attenuated live-virus OPV still used in countries around the world has raised the level of concern within the GPEI that the OPV itself is producing new and more virulent strains of the paralytic disease.5

This may help explain the so-called “vaccine hesitancy” that the World Health Organization (WHO) has cited as one of the top 10 “threats to global health” in 2019. It should come as no surprise that parents might be wary and want to avoid giving their children vaccines that are known to cause the very diseases they are designed to prevent.6

The GPEI is a public-private partnership involving national governments and five international organizations, including the WHO, Rotary International, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.7

Pains in the hind declare to some that it is time to get out! We've exhausted what we know ... which amounts to little ... a wee concern!

Don't know what I'm speaking of? That's the sacred plan laid out by poets like Keats ... the darker side of word ... its deep!
